BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that usually responds positively to treatment with thymectomy. Various approaches via video-assisted thoracic thymectomy as a substitute for conventional sternotomy have been reported. We reported a less invasive technique for thymectomy in pediatric groups.
METHODS: Four adolescents with juvenile myasthenia gravis all underwent hybrid combination of small subxiphoid incision and thoracoscopic thymectomy at our institute. Clinical characteristics and surgical outcome were consecutively collected.
RESULTS: In these 4 patients, 2 presented with Osserman class III and 2 with class IIb. The mean operative time was 180 minutes. There was no conversion to sternotomy, and there was only minimal blood loss. Follow-up duration was 3 to 64 months. Postoperatively, 1 patient had complete remission and 3 patients had improvement in clinical symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Hybrid combination of small subxiphoid incision and thoracoscopic thymectomy may be an effective alternative with low surgical invasiveness for treating juvenile myasthenia gravis.
